Purcell

The next composer I would like to translate into color is Henry Purcell. Working around the same time as Corelli, he was none the less using more notes and a more complicated palette as a result. Corelli was in Italy and Purcell in England. Did they ever get to hear each other's music? Unlikely. How things have changed.

I have chosen to "translate" the first 8 measures of Purcell's Festival Rondeau, this time C is Green.

In this blog I try to bring as many small paintings as I can manage to create - I'm shooting for 5 a week - to the great expansive world of the internet. You can see all the work I have created for this blog so far if you go to my web site. http://www.nancyherman.com
